Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2011-12-27 17:58:47 UTC

java.api.common.queries.FileBuiltQueryImpl.createDelegate uses root + "/*.java" which is dangerous; should probably use "${build.generated.sources.dir}/" + root.getName() + "/*.java" instead. Ought to be easy enough to check in a unit test.

Workaround: do not include metacharacters such as asterisk (*) in project names, since this is bound to confuse Ant scripts in general.

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2011-12-27 17:59:46 UTC

Sorry, not an API issue. (I was originally thinking that createGlobFileBuiltQuery would have to be changed to permit multiple asterisks, ignoring all but the last, but this now seems unnecessary.)

Comment 4 Quality Engineering 2015-02-04 03:29:27 UTC

Reported for 7.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing as worksforme, please reopen in case you see it.
